I couldn't find long-term data on the size of wildfires in Alberta, so I set off to compile it myself. Voila!pic.twitter.com/Mph0QhFD1y

Overall, this was more an exercise in data cleaning more than trying to really answer the question of if, or how, the
#ClimateCrisis is affecting wildfires. I left in some good references – from the experts – in this work if you want to read more on that topic.Näytä tämä ketju -
My two initial responses to seeing this compiled data: 1. What happened in 1980-82?! (the internet wasn't very helpful here). 2. We're seeing a lot more frequency in the last few years.

Note two other large limitations to this data viz: 1. This implies Albertans do not see impacts from forest fires in other provinces. Fact: they do. Not pictured here is 2017 and 2018's BC wildfires, which turned Alberta quite orange.

@YourAlberta has data going back to 1931, but it's not all digitalized; it only exists as microfilm. They have that data as geospatial data (GIS), but I don't have the tools to deal with that right now.Näytä tämä ketju

Also (I've said this before): Canadian forests are 100% now a net source of GHGs, rather than a sink like they're supposed to be.pic.twitter.com/eZ785VEtSp

... and here with 2019 data, as of 2019-05-31 (this morning). Alberta's just about caught up to 2016 levels, and not in a good way.pic.twitter.com/YHul90TdDn
